CommandStation-EX/Release_Notes/CommandRef.md

This file is being used to consolidate the command reference information. 

General points:
  - Commands below have a single character opcode and parameters.
  Even <JA> is actually read as <J A> 
  - Keyword parameters are shown in upper case but may be entered in mixed case.
  - value parameters are numeric.
  - [something]  indicates its optional.
  - Not all commands have a response, and not all responses come from the last commands that you have issued.
